  • Surgery: Gastric Sleeve
  • Surgery date: May 10th, 2013
  • Testimonial date: August 13th, 2013
  • Surgeon: Dr. Almanza
I was referred to Dr. Almanza by my sister who had her surgery the month prior to mine.
She was so impressed and excited I went ahead and scheduled mine. Everyone was great, all the nurses were caring, and friendly. The hotel was beautiful and even the service there was great. You are always in a group with other patients and you make some great friends. I was especially impressed by one woman I met that was so happy with Dr. Almanza, she brought 8 people with her from her home town.(she was 2 yrs post op) Referrals like that built up my confidence. My surgery went great, however I did see some people that had some problems and I personally witnessed the extra care and attention they received, by the time I was going home they were in full recovery and very happy. Overall it was awesome, and I absolutely recommend Dr. Almanza!!
